Landslides have devastating impacts across the globe resulting in the loss of life and the destruction of billions of dollars in infrastructure. Soil erosion from wind and water threatens food production, pollutes the environment, and can make living in major cities such as Beijing almost unbearable during dust storms. Just like the great dust bowl of the 1930s, many instances of soil erosion and ...

A call for industry and universities to drive forward key opportunities for research into polymer geogrid applications has been made following a successful symposium to mark 25 years of technological advancement in the field.More than 150 people attended the Jubilee Symposium on Polymer Geogrid Reinforcement in London which identified important new directions for further development in ...

While deep foundation or ground improvement techniques are often used to construct in soft ground, they are often very costly. Past research has shown that geocell reinforcement increases the load carrying capacity of the foundation bed and is also cost-effective. However, very few studies have tested commercially available geocells such as NPA Geocell. In this study, NPA Geocell reinforced ...

TENSAR International will be demonstrating the performance properties of its geogrids as a cost-effective, sustainable means of maintaining trackbed stability through ballast reinforcement at Railtex on Stand 666.Independently proven full scale laboratory tests - and monitored site trials on the National Rail Network - have shown that Tensar geogrids increase the maintenance cycle for track over ...

Low dust granulation of sprues and rejected parts is often a decisive quality aspect for the return of ground material to the production process. The new Slotter (“Slow Cutter”) roll mills from Hellweg Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG work without the use of sieves and at a low speed of just 25 r.p.m., so that gentle granulation without thermal degradation, faster delivery of granulate and ...

Construction of the basement car park and foundations for a superstore, on a steep site in Sheffield, meant building over and in front of an existing Victorian wall which could not be structurally loaded.
